Rach, Riley and I got away for a few days and went camping at Wilsons Promontory National Park for an extended weekend. The weather was pretty crappy, but I did get a chance to get out ans shoot a little bit.

    David - Nice images except for the very dark sky in 2,3, and 4. Were you using a G-ND filter? If so maybe you metered a little off?

    Those could also be very, very dark storm clouds in 3 and 4 and I am a little off :D

    Hey Todd,

    Thanks for the reply. I would suggest pilot error lol3.gif

    I was metering manually, so some of my exposures are crap. But I also had a few other exposure that seem to be better. Not quite sure why I choose some of them.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I like the dark skies. Makes them look alien and dramatic. nod.gif

    Late to the thread...
    ...but great photos all the same. Add my vote to the darker renditions, especially Norman Bay.
